Creativity is considered as a soundand desirable feature. In cognitive approach, it is assumed that human though effects on his behavior. All human's success and progress depends on dynamic, fruitful and effective thinking. As we know, thinking style of people with his attitude and lifestyle. People with pragmatismthinking style are more flexible and show more creativity and innovation than the others and also they have enough skill to plan for unexpected days. Creativity has a significant effect on reduction of anxiety and depression, enhancing of better adaptability, self-efficiency and personal development. Creating and enhancing of creativity in the form of meta-cognitive, character and motivation components can have a high effect on improving mental health, self-efficiency and dealing with mental stress. Creativity can also treat the mental disorders. Today, methods to improvecreativity are a technique to enhance the mental health in the society. In this article, we study the relationship among the creativity, thinking styles and a number of mental disorders.

“…Creativity thus appears to result from the complex interaction of multiple personality, cognitive, and affective traits [69,81,82], which may reflect a shared vulnerability with bipolar disorder [49,83,84]. A summary of the components that likely occupy the space between madness and genius is presented in Figure 2.…”

“…Other personality factors, such as increased sociability, strong ambition, and a desire for recognition by others, characterize those who excel because of their creative talent and are features observed in bipolar patients and their relatives, which may partially explain the tighter link of bipolar disorder to creativity compared with schizophrenia [33,83,118,131]. Additionally, the deficits in executive function in schizophrenia patients [132,133], which are primarily associated with negative symptoms, may explain the relatively poor performance of schizophrenia patients for measures of creativity involving fluency and cognitive flexibility [134,135,136].…”

Bipolar disorder is a severe, lifelong mood disorder for which little is currently understood of the genetic mechanisms underlying risk. By examining related dimensional phenotypes, we may further our understanding of the disorder. Creativity has a historical connection with the bipolar spectrum and is particularly enhanced among unaffected first-degree relatives and those with bipolar spectrum traits. This suggests that some aspects of the bipolar spectrum may confer advantages, while more severe expressions of symptoms negatively influence creative accomplishment. Creativity is a complex, multidimensional construct with both cognitive and affective components, many of which appear to reflect a shared genetic vulnerability with bipolar disorder. It is suggested that a subset of bipolar risk variants confer advantages as positive traits according to an inverted-U-shaped curve with clinically unaffected allele carriers benefitting from the positive traits and serving to maintain the risk alleles in the population. The association of risk genes with creativity in healthy individuals (e.g., NRG1), as well as an overall sharing of common genetic variation between bipolar patients and creative individuals, provides support for this model. Current findings are summarized from a multidisciplinary perspective to demonstrate the feasibility of research in this area to reveal the mechanisms underlying illness.
